CAPO 2
Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs


INTRO: D  G  A  D

VERSE 1:
D                            G     
I was born and raised on the river
         A                D
It's the only life that I know
D                             G
People 'round here have put a name on me
      A                  D
And I hear it wherever I go

CHORUS:
             D          G
They call me river boy, river boy
A                 D                         
A good for nothin' river boy
D                           G
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
            A             D 
When you're nothin' but a river boy

VERSE 2:

D                            G
I do a lot of fishin' on the river
   A                  D
To make my livin' you see
D                           G  
When I take my catch to the market place
    A                  D
The people call out to me

CHORUS 2:
              D              G 
And they say, river boy, hey river boy
A                            D       
You got any fish today there, river boy
D                   G
I sell my ware, but nobody cares 
          A                D 
About the feeling's of the river boy

VERSE 3: KEY CHANGE
 
          E                        A    
There's a pretty girl works at the market place
  B7                 E 
I see her there everyday
    E             A   
But when I try to talk to her 
      B7            E 
I can hear her papa say


CHORUS 3:
                    E         A
Come away from that River boy, he's a river boy
B7                      E
Nothin' but a riff-raff river boy
E                        A
No girl of mine is gonna waste her time
     B7                     E
On a good for nothin' river boy

VERSE 4:

So I head my boat back up the river
Back to my old fishin' place
I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow
From the tears running down my face

CHORUS:

I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy
A good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy

Hi guys. New member here. I'm an old bassist/acoustic strummer, and my 81 yr old dad plays like Earl Scruggs. No lie! We have never played together except around the house while I was growing up, and we want to learn this song and film the event. Can you guys tell me who has the most accurate tab on here? Even the intro sounds good either way it is tabbed here. I really appreciate it if you could help. You can email directly if you wish at dnightowl@cox.net.....Thanks a bunch. keep rockin!

I think there is a key change at the start of 3rd verse.
The key changes to E (Relative to capo @ 2nd fret) with the same progression,
ie E to A to B7.
